Looking for a way to fundraise for your team or cause?
Host a Clothing Drive
-
How it Works
Your organization collects used clothing and household goods to donate.*
We come to YOU to pick the items up!
Items are weighed and you are paid by the pound.
We cut you a check. It’s that simple!
*Please note: We ask that you collect at least 250 bags/boxes.
-
Who should do it?
Any group of people raising money for a cause! We have worked with organizations large and small, from youth sports teams, marching bands, and arts clubs to women’s clubs, food banks, and churches.
If your group has the ability to reach 30 or more people, and has a place to store donations temporarily before pickup, a clothing drive is a great option for fundraising.
